House holiday rentals in Barranca

We kicked off our honeymoon in Costa Rica at Axel's place for 4-nights. When we arrived, it was the evening so it was dark out. The following morning we were totally blown away by the beauty of this lovely farm! Gorgeous green trees, flowers, monsteras, & mountains are surrounding you. The view is spectacular (even when it is raining or cloudy). The house has hammocks to relax in, a kitchen equipped with everything you need to make a delicious meal, a very comfy bed, and views to die for! Toucan-spotting over coffee in the morning was a highlight. Axel was not only a great host but a lovely person to chat with! If you are looking for a more remote Costa Rican experience, this is the place for you. Highly recommend and are definitely planning to come back to this wonderful place! Thanks again Axel!!

It was an excellent experience in the house, we had some problems with the air conditioning and they solved them on the same day, the pool and the house very well cared for, it includes many things in the kitchen and bathrooms, however as a suggestion nothing more would be to take into account putting chairs to sunbathe, other than that everything was great

We had a great stay at this property. Everything was just as it was in the photos, very clean and comfortable. My family had a great time and Jose, the host, was super attentive and kind at all times. Highly recommended!

This is such a beautiful, comfortable, and clean home with wonderful views. We spent 6 nights exploring Atenas, and this home is convenient to town and several other attractions. The hostess has a book for guests with great suggestions for what to do and see while in Atenas.

Chris is the Man! For context, my girlfriend and I had another bnb in the area that lost power and water for 2 days! I had to book an emergency stay and Chris accommodated and responded swiftly even though it was very short notice. We fell more in love with his property than our original one lol. 10/10 stay loved the vibezz.

My family and I enjoyed the place very much! It is insanely beautiful, house decor is so unique and very comfortable and friendly people! The only one thing I would say is that in the House photos looks like there’s rooms outside however those are extra cabins in the same property(reserved separately) This home is only 3 Bedrooms, each bedroom has a bathroom which is so nice!

It was a great stay! Lots of space, great view of the beach really enjoyed spending time with some friends here. There are a couple of restaurants a few minutes walk away and a bus stop to go into town. Great stay - would def recommend. Thanks for everything!

It was amazing experience

Great location with an amazing view and the hanging bench on the veranda was absolutely perfect!!

The house is on the very mountain, from where you can see the sea and the sunset. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials for cooking. We enjoyed our stay. Recommended for a quiet getaway!

From the first time meeting Mira & Michaela (the owners) we could feel how much they truly care about their guests and their surroundings. A beautiful touch was having the lovely staff deliver breakfast to us that is made by the owners. Each morning we got to sample something different and all of it was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented; this was. a real treat for us and so helpful especially for a shorter stay. We loved waking us to the sounds of the jungle. The grounds were being shaped and groomed while we were there and visually this place is very special. Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality and genuine care.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. Vera left nothing undone or to chance. Regardless of your preferences, she has thought of it and has taken care of it right down to basil growing in the window. It is the best place to stay for your jumping off place to Latin America. She speaks English to help you get over the rough spots on your pigeon Spanish. The workout area is wonderful to get the muscles working again after a winter of little exercise. The location up the hill is cool and pleasant, close to the town of Atenas but also close to the jungle where a flock of toucans came flying through the trees close to the deck. The neighborhood is very safe. Yes, we would do it again if we got the chance but she gets booked early and often.

While many other reviews mentioned it, I’ll have to note here again: the view is amazing. I enjoy taking so many photos through out our trip as the view is spectacular and it chnages quickly at different times, different weather. The weather has been kind to us so it only rained very hard mostly at night and few hours in the afternoon (mid June). Sitting out on the deck in the morning is peaceful and not too cold. All of the descriptions are accurate. The road coming here is rough but so is almost everywhere else in Monteverde. Definitely one of the best Airbnb places we’ve been.

We had an amazing time at this beautiful home tucked into the jungle. The setting is very serene, with the sound of the river always in the background and the plethora of wildlife all around. The bed was very comfy, so a good nights rest was practically guaranteed. There are a few things I would note for anyone considering the home, especially if this is your first visit to the area. It is a 10+ minute rocky drive to the home off the main road, not a big deal with a sturdy car. Especially during rainy season, there’s a good chance you’ll lose power at some point, but seems to be restored quickly. Most places, including this home, discouraged you from flushing toilet paper, an adjustment from home. Being that this place is so small, there’s not a ton of privacy between the bathroom and bedroom, and the living area is not meant for lounging. That’s what the outdoor spaces are for! This was an experience unlike any other we’ve had in our previous visits to CR, I highly recommend it!

Beautiful house and beautiful place, ideal to disconnect completely... my family and I celebrated my birthday in a very intimate setting with nature. Noa is very kind, always attentive to everything and quick to respond. I recommend it!

Definitely one of (if not) the nicest Airbnb we've ever stayed at, and we've been Airbnb'ing for 10+ years. Location is a little off the beaten path with no water views but the home is absolutely stunning! Probably nicer than the photos and so many extra amenities - a fully stocked kitchen, tons of bath/face/hand towels, so much clothing storage and hangers (more than any hotel we've ever stayed at), plush bathmats, large bottles of shampoo/conditioner/body wash, huge awesome pool towels, I could go on and on. Also nice beds and bedding. The outdoor pool, patio area and furniture is AMAZING (we watched monekys playing in the trees right beside the pool)! Location is close to Playa Organos (can walk to with moderate difficulty depending on your age) where an awesome walkable beach with warm, clear water awaits. And lots of great restaurants within a 15-20 mins drive - you must check out El Punto Paquera! Thanks Esteban - we will be back!

Beautiful house that is exactly as described. The house is clean, thoughtful, very well appointed, and also very private. We had no trouble at all finding it, and our check-in was very easy. Andres and his sister are perfect hosts. The hot tub is brand new and absolutely wonderful. Perfect rating from me.

It's a place to enjoy

The house is beautiful and super large, very equipped kitchen for cooking, the whole house was very clean. Mr. Juan Luis who welcomed us is super friendly and attentive. The pool is big and clean. The whole garden is very well cared for... Super recommended the place... There is a lot of peace. Zero noises... 1000%

Casa Baru is a beautiful home and a perfect location for accessing the beach and many great restaurants. When we walked in the door my kids said, “This looks like a celebrity’s house!”. The outdoor space is beautiful and serene and indoors is spacious and comfortable. Juan was super responsive to any questions we had and he had great local recommendations for restaurants. I highly recommend this beautiful home and Juan as a host!

Beautiful, comfortable home with gorgeous pool and property.

Lovely place. As someone who used to live in Atenas I can’t imagine a better place to stay and experience it. Beautiful views, great pool and porch, big bedroom, hot water, and everything is spotless. Edward is a good guy and leaves you a paper with everything you need - contacts for taxis, restaurant recommendations, etc. He knows the area well anything you need just text him. I can’t wait to come back. Thanks Edward!

I have stayed at Cassie’s place multiple times and there is a reason I keep coming back for extended stays. The house is amazing, the location is outstanding and the amenities are incredible. Her kitchen is super well outfitted with anything you could need and they poolside grill is perfect. I really couldn’t recommend this place or this host more highly.

We had an unforgettable stay at Victoria’s house at Las Nubes Atenas! If you’re reading this and looking for a relaxing, beautiful vacation - just save yourself some time and book it. Waking up to the mountain views from our room was awesome. The beautiful bed, well-stocked kitchen, and the fresh fruit straight from the farm were great touches. Everything felt so thoughtfully done. Stunning views everywhere you look. We took advantage of the many services Victoria offered: massage by Andrea, dinner by Rosa, sauna by the pool. We definitely recommend planning to stay at the Airbnb to enjoy it for a few evenings. Victoria helped us arrange a rental car and airport taxi. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, thanks to her clear instructions. Victoria and Mark were the most gracious hosts—attentive and warm. We will definitely recommend this gem to our friends and family :)
